Final Night

This was our first rainy day; but even then, we had enough sunny periods to enjoy the day at the cottage.  Kim, the homeworker, came in the morning and gave Tina a good bath, got her dressed, did her exercises and her hair.  She was really good at taking her time and paying attention to Tina’s needs.

The nurse came later to check on Tina and see how she has been doing,  Her ventilator worked much better last night.  We didn’t have any bad episodes.

Kevin and Pam stopped in for a visit.  Pam. brought some nachos and a loaded dip with deviled eggs.
Ron came back and brought Sarah.  The girls spent some time in the lake.
They slowly got Tina to the car without incident.  It was a successful Sister Three Cottage time.

Just as everyone was leaving we were able to do a quick video chat with Cousin, Janice.  She had been very interested in this time together since she has a brother-in-law with ALS. and has lots of memories on White Lake with Aunt Reta and Uncle Gerald.

And our final night at the cottage is with a bit of a different mix of people.  Ron, Sarah, Carol and I are at the cottage.  Carol and I are feeling pretty tired. It’s a beautiful evening after a rainy day.
We are glad that we are STEELE a standing after a week at the cottage.  Tina was able to walk out of the cottage with lots of help.  We think she enjoyed her time and she STEELE likes being treated like a Princess.

Good night Princess.  I hope you sleep well in your home.

Time Goes By

Tears still come when I think of Tina.  It was two years ago today when her fight with ALS ended.  At only 55, my baby sister took her last ...
